Title: ShoMeOutdoors Youth Shoot
Description: ShoMeOutdoors.com has organized a youth firearms safety and firearms instruction day at the Owensville Gun Club on Saturday, May 17th, 2008 from noon until 5:00pm. Activities will include a firearms safety program, which will be administered by Missouri Dept of Conservation hunter safety instructors and NRA certified firearms and range instructors, clay bird shooting on the shotgun range, as well as rifle and pistol skills training and practice. There will also be someone there to demonstrate muzzleloader shooting. All of which will be one on one,
supervised by qualified instructors. Firearms safety and shooting fun is the theme of this event. Gun club member, Phillip Anderson has been instrumental in helping to organize this event. Phillip has worked with the Gasconade Co. 4-H shooting sports program and their club is affiliated with the National Rifle Association, the Civilian Marksmanship Program, and the Missouri Shooting Sports Association.
Also participating will be Kyle Lairmore from the Missouri Department of Conservation and the Gasconade County Youth Shooting Sports Association. He, too, has been a HUGE help in these events.
We will have on site, the Laser Shot arcade game, which has been used to train military and law enforcement personnel. Participants will be allowed to test their skills and reflexes in hunting and shooting situations with this electronic simulator, which utilizes a video screen and a laser firing firearm simulator.
This youth firearms safety and instruction day will be held rain or shine at the Owensville Gun Club which is located on the north side of highway 28 West, approximately 2 miles west of the Owensville, Mo city limits.
Ages 15years and under with or without any prior firearms experience are urged to attend. Admission is free for everyone. Children must be accompanied by a parent or adult legal guardian. We are inviting everyone and anyone interested to this event. Our goal is to teach kids firearms safety while having fun doing it. This is not a hunter safety class, but will certainly help any kid who is about to take the MDC hunter safety test.
We encourage you to bring your kids out and join in the fun. Lunch will be provided and we will also have drawings for some REALLY nice attendance prizes. All you need to do is show up.
*Hearing and eye protection will also be provided.
Thanks,
The SMO Staff
